Massage might help. Or you can try rolling on a foam roller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/upper-back-pain-while-breathing#post-1635802 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:09:51 +0000 alohaorchid 1635802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been dealing with pretty bad seasonal allergies for the past couple of days, with yesterday being the worst. I felt achey and exhausted all day from them and ended up falling asleep on the couch pretty early.</p> <p>Then I woke up in the middle of the night with pain in my ribs and upper back, which gets worse with inhaling. The pain in my ribs has now subsided but the upper back pain is still there, it's pretty uncomfortable when I breathe in, and I definitely can't take a deep breath.</p> <p>Does anyone have any experience with anything like this? I have a doctors appointment this morning (I panicked!) but I just wanted to see what anyone else thinks. </p>
